AS568-001 O-Ring Size — ID, Cross-Section, OD and Gland Data

An AS568-001 o-ring is 0.0290 in (0.740 mm) inside diameter with a 0.0400 in (1.020 mm) cross-section, giving a 0.1090 in (2.780 mm) outside diameter. Dimensions are free-state, before installation.

AS568-001 O-Ring Dimensions and Tolerances

An AS568 o-ring is specified by its inside diameter and cross-section; the outside diameter follows from them. Tolerances are the AS568 free-state limits, measured uninstalled.

OD = ID + 2 × CS. Elastomer parts are measured free-state and relax over time; the tolerances above are manufacturing limits, not the installed dimensions.

AS568-001 O-Ring Size in Millimetres

AS568 is an inch standard. These are the same dimensions converted exactly (1 in = 25.4 mm) — an AS568 size is not interchangeable with an ISO 3601 metric size that happens to be close.

Metric figures are conversions of the AS568 inch dimensions, rounded to 0.01 mm as the source data carries them. A metric o-ring called out as 25 × 3.5 mm is a different part.

AS568 O-Ring Sizes Closest to AS568-001

Ordered by how close the inside diameter is, across every cross-section series. A near-ID match in a different cross-section will not seal the same gland.

Check the cross-section before substituting: the gland depth is set by cross-section, not by inside diameter.

Assumptions
  • Dimensions are free-state, at room temperature, before installation.
  • Tolerances are AS568 manufacturing limits. Compression set, swell in service fluid and thermal expansion all move the installed dimensions and are properties of the compound, not of the size.
  • Dataset scope: A fabricated-dataset negative control is asserted against on every run. EXCLUDED: groove width, corner radius, diametral clearance, back-up ring widths, surface finish, all dynamic glands, the 900-series, and ISO 3601 metric sizes.

Common Questions About the AS568-001 O-Ring

What size is an AS568-001 o-ring?

An AS568-001 o-ring has an inside diameter of 0.0290 in (0.740 mm) and a cross-section of 0.0400 in (1.020 mm), giving an outside diameter of 0.1090 in (2.780 mm).

What is an AS568-001 o-ring in mm?

0.740 mm inside diameter × 1.020 mm cross-section, 2.780 mm outside diameter. AS568 is an inch standard, so these are exact conversions rather than metric nominal sizes.

What is the tolerance on an AS568-001 o-ring?

AS568 allows ± 0.0039 in (± 0.100 mm) on the inside diameter and ± 0.0031 in (± 0.080 mm) on the cross-section, measured free-state.

Which AS568 series is the AS568-001 o-ring in?

Dash 001 is in the 001-003 band — AS568 dash 001-003, a 0.040-0.060 in cross-section. Every size in that band shares the same cross-section and therefore the same gland depth.
